Summary of the contracting process

Tower Hamlets appointed an Employer’s Agent for the expansion of Beatrice Tate School. The requirement is a construction consultancy service covering the employer’s agent role, with related construction supervision, construction management and site-investigation activities. The work is for the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and will be delivered in England. This is a public-sector education construction project rather than a general facilities or building-maintenance contract. It is relevant to consultancies that advise public-sector clients during school expansion and other capital works, particularly those able to coordinate the client-side management, oversight and investigation functions associated with a construction project.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award procedure. The tender submission deadline was 30 June 2026, and the contract was awarded to Ninety Four Group on 5 August 2026. The awarded value is £96,631.58 including the stated currency of GBP, matching the procurement’s stated value. The award contract period runs from 6 August 2026 to 31 August 2028. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Evaluation resulted in one active award to the named supplier; this is an outcome of the procurement, not an invitation to submit a bid. The service category is construction consultancy.

This award indicates demand from Tower Hamlets for a client-side construction consultancy supporting a school expansion over a substantial project period. A credible future competitor would need to provide an experienced Employer’s Agent able to represent the public-sector client, coordinate construction activity and manage delivery interfaces from project commencement through completion. Relevant capability includes construction supervision, construction management and site-investigation expertise, with the ability to apply these services coherently to an education setting. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so a focused specialist consultancy may be well placed to compete when a comparable requirement returns. Evidence of delivering similar school or public-building expansion projects, managing contractors and maintaining clear project governance would strengthen a future submission.
